Sometimes it feels like this country cannot be real

@JoshuaPotash why are there cops at school?

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash Only time i've ever seen a cop in school was when they'd come to present DARE.

@LanceMinshall @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash My school stopped dare when i was in the 3rd grade because kids started to do drugs due to it

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash We never had them at our school in a wealthy suburb outside of Detroit but they did have a separate basement school where they put the trouble makers so a different kind of messed up.

@human_abby @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash Ah see i grew up in a poor area

@LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash Muting but it's interesting to see that not all of the US had that as a normal. We had active shooter drills when i was in elementary school on top of tornado and fire drills.

@dlivingstone @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash I dunno but I've seen them mace some kids

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash We have security, but not cops. Even if there are, they're posts are at the school entrances and not inside the school building. They are occasionally allowed to go inside to patrol a little, but that seems like something they wanna do to relax a bit from standing outside

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash It has to be a big school thing. Other than during sporting events and dare bullshit I only saw cops while in school a few times

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash to us non-americans, it is very weird

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash My high school after 9/11 definitely didn't have a single cop in it in South Western Pennsylvania.

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash Only schools with Black students have copsy rural, 99% white student population schools did not have them.

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash You can't think of a school that didn't have them? Bloody hell, the USA is a scary place.

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash Went to a private school and didn’t have them. (Post 9/11)I was a low income financial aide kid but many had 💰. Wonder why police weren’t used? Also military recruiters weren’t there. Interesting 🤔

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash It's a school. Teachers have the job of looking after children and making sure they behave. No cops required.

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash I finished HS pre 9/11 and we had a half dozen in the building daily.

@Elvenmonk went to school in minnesota, we never once had security or cops

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash No school on Europe has cops in it...ever.

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash No, in other countries it is very rare to see a cop in a high school. That's the thing about not having school shootings all the time.

@Elvenmonk @LarsJohnsen1 @JoshuaPotash As someone in the UK this idea is horrifying to me, I cannot imagine going to school and police being there, it would terrify me. I don’t think police are involved in as many different things here as they are in America, no criticism just pointing out differences
